Beach days. New cities. Patio drinks. ☀️

Summer’s doing its thing. And we’re here with a quick reminder before you head outside:

A little sun safety goes a long way—especially for people living with blood cancer.

Why is it important for patients and survivors to stay aware of sun exposure? 

• Treatment can make skin more sensitive to the sun 

• Blood cancer may increase skin cancer risk 

• It’s easy to protect yourself

Blood Cancer United's Information Specialists put together a quick guide to staying safer in the sun. You’ll find answers to questions like...What can I do for my sun safety? What should I look for in sunscreen? And when should I ask my doctor about skin cancer?

Our Information Specialists are highly trained oncology social workers and nurses who can help answer questions related to blood cancer. From diagnosis to treatment to survivorship, and everything in between.

Support like this exists because of you. Your gift helps people get answers, guidance, and support when they need it most.
